On-loan midfielder Jonny Williams is facing 12 weeks out having undergone shoulder surgery earlier today.

Manager Mick McCarthy revealed the news at this evening’s PLC AGM: “Jonny Williams has had an operation on his shoulder today, he’s got 12 weeks out.

“He slipped on to the track at Wigan, he got clattered onto the track at Wigan. He went for a scan and he went for an operation today.

“My thoughts are with Jonny, he’s only ever had accidents and injuries. He got kicked off the pitch against Watford and he got another one at Wigan. He’s very unfortunate, Jonny.”

Physio Matt Byard later told the club site: “Jonny had what is basically a dislocation of his shoulder at Wigan.

“There was significant cartilage damage and a small fracture and the shoulder joint was completely unstable.

“He had surgery earlier today to stabilise the joint and we are looking at around 12 weeks before he is back playing again, without any setbacks.”

mickeyjb added 20:40 - Dec 21 How the hell has he done that? What track? If there is an area that is dangerous then surely Wigan should be fined and the area sorted? Is this the most unlucky footballer ever? I actually think Palace should just go, ok Ipswich, he's yours, you keep bl00dy breaking him so you can keep him!!

Vanisleblue2 added 20:46 - Dec 21 Somebody wake me up from this daily nightmare Sorry to say he's injury prone even if it was an accident... his wages can go back to Palace

Surco72 added 20:53 - Dec 21 Was a risky panic signing to keep fans happy and hide fact we had sold our main goal threat and couldn't attract a decent replacement . Least MM will have another excuse that he has no creative players fit . Another MM deal costing the club with little back

Facefacts added 20:54 - Dec 21 We need the video of the slipping on the running track to see if the club can claim on insurance. This guy has cost £ 1 M and hardly played. Never mind hard luck story. Get working on compensation claim so that the money can be made available for January.

Michael11 added 21:12 - Dec 21 I'm sorry but he's a complete waste of time and money. We must have spent a fortune on him over the past few seasons for about 3 good games when fit.

brian_a_mul added 21:22 - Dec 21 He will be back fresh for the run in till end of season. Big blow but it give Dozzell a chance to get more minutes during the next 3 months

Keaneish added 21:33 - Dec 21 Who'll take his place in the January transfer window now the wages are freed up?

jas0999 added 21:41 - Dec 21 Sadly, this is no surprise. He is very injury prone. I feel very sorry for him, but was never a good signing and and in my opinion just brought in to keep the fans of the clubs back. I really hope he makes a speedy recovery. But the likelihood of him or McGoldrick being injured was very very high.

Blueactually75 added 22:12 - Dec 21 Great. Just as Mick picks him he goes sick for 12 weeks. Anyone heard if we are actually going sign Akpom from Arsenal?
